delivery specs for german TV commercial

[komokrator]

Hi there,

I'm used to mix spots to a max. of -9dbfs and have another house take care of properly laying back to digbeta for the different stations. Now I'm asked to do this by myself. For german stations, do I stick to my rule of -9dbfs max. peak level? And what test tone do I print to digibeta? 1kHz sine peak@-20dbfs? What length? Any additional caveats to look out for?
TIA, Sebastian

tone: 1Khz@-18dBFs
Max Level: -9dBFs (on a peak level meter DIN-scale 10ms integration time, unless stated otherwise in the station´s delivery specs)

for german broadcast tapes (digital)

Thanks Frank!
May I ask you at what TC you start your session then? 00:58:00:00?

or 00:01:00:00 if this one goes to zdf or 3sat ; -)

The levels Frank mentions are absolutly right, but you won´t be the loudest commercial in this set.

Loudness has nothing to do with level ;-)
